• Title: Lifelong Change Detection: Continuous Domain Adaptation for Small Object Change Detection in Every Robot Navigation
• Authors: Koji Takeda, Kanji Tanaka, Yoshimasa Nakamura
• Abstract summary: Ground view change detection suffers from its ill-posed-ness because of visual uncertainty combined with complex nonlinear perspective projection. To regularize the ill-posed-ness, the commonly applied supervised learning methods rely on manually annotated high-quality object-class-specific priors. The present approach adopts the powerful and versatile idea that object changes detected during everyday robot navigation can be reused as additional priors to improve future change detection tasks.

• Abstract: The recently emerging research area in robotics, ground view change detection, suffers from its ill-posed-ness because of visual uncertainty combined with complex nonlinear perspective projection. To regularize the ill-posed-ness, the commonly applied supervised learning methods (e.g., CSCD-Net) rely on manually annotated high-quality object-class-specific priors. In this work, we consider general application domains where no manual annotation is available and present a fully self-supervised approach. The present approach adopts the powerful and versatile idea that object changes detected during everyday robot navigation can be reused as additional priors to improve future change detection tasks. Furthermore, a robustified framework is implemented and verified experimentally in a new challenging practical application scenario: ground-view small object change detection.

  Deep learning-based 3D object detection has achieved unprecedented success with the advent of large-scale autonomous driving datasets.

We study a more realistic setting, unsupervised 3D domain adaptive detection, which only utilizes source domain annotations.
